    Credit Card Required for Free Games - Xbox Gold


    Hi,

    I signed up for the Xbox Gold membership and was able to download two games. Now, when I try to download a third, I am required to add a credit card even though the cost of the game is $0.00.

    At this point I'd rather not add a credit card. What is the procedure for accessing the free Xbox one Gold content without a credit card?

    :)

    Xbox console cannot find TC's Rainbow Six Vegas

    Xbox console cannot find TC's Rainbow Six Vegas, isn't it free for Gold Live member? I've hours via console to search games...etc with IE browser on the console...it still cannot find it. However, with PC web I do see it, but Microsoft required to give them
    credit card even it's free for Gold Live member. I don't trust Microsoft store my credit card info on their server. What the hell they're doing? why required credit card for demo games and free games for Gold Live member? Is anyone of you able to download
    the TC's Rainbow Six Vegas via console search/browse...etc?

    Free Xbox Live Games?

    So, why am I required to put my credit card on my xbox live gold? PS4 didn't require it? So why am I being forced to do this? Anyone know if i can just get my free monthly games without putting my credit card in or am i forced to do it? If so that's stupid

    Credit Card Required for Free Games - Xbox Gold

    Sorry to hear it. It may be a glitch that the system is asking for this. Have you tried accessing the game from the website starting the download from here?

    It is doing the same thing when I go from the website. Can anyone help? I don't want to give over my credit card info. I bought the XBox Gold membership for the FREE games and I don't want to accidentally purchase anything - it's far too easy to do so.

    If I can't get the free games without the CC, who do I contact for a refund on the Gold Membership?

    That's what I thought. A lot of people are having issues with downloading this game. Misses Quinzel has posted in the following thread about it.

    Asked to change payment method when trying to download 360 games in Gold on an XBox one

    Xbox 360 games, even those included free with Games with Gold require a valid source of payment(such as credit card) to complete the purchase, although you will not be charged for this transaction.

    Can't redeem Xbox Live Gold game for Xbox 360

    Do you have a payment method(credit card) attached to your account?A valid payment option is required to download Xbox 360 games. However, no charges will be made since Games with Gold is free to Xbox Live
    Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.

    I redeemed my xbox gold trial through QR code scan but i did not get any access for gold

    You're eligible for games with gold only if you're on an Xbox Live Gold one-month free trial.

    If you're on a 14-day prepaid code trial, you're not eligible. You must have a current Xbox Live Gold subscription or trial that requires a credit card.

    Xbox one S - 14 day xbox gold trial

    It would help if you read it correctly

    14day trials aren't gold trials

    Games with Gold available if I'm on a 30-day Xbox Live Gold credit card trial?

    You're eligible. You must have a current Xbox Live Gold membership or an Xbox Live Gold trial that requires a credit card.

    What kind of Xbox Live Gold trials are eligible?

    You're eligible if you're on an Xbox Live Gold one-month free trial.

    If you're on a 14-day prepaid code trial, you're not eligible. You must have a current Xbox Live Gold subscription or trial that requires a credit card.

    What if I'm on a 14-day prepaid code trial and I upgrade to Xbox Live Gold during the trial period to take advantage of a free game offer? Will I get the game?

    If you upgrade to Xbox Live Gold during your non-renewing trial period, your Xbox Live Gold membership won't start until the end of your free trial. You won't be eligible to download a currently offered free game until your trial period ends and your paid
    membership begins

    "If I redeem a promotional Xbox Live Gold token, will I be able to download the free games?

    No, you would not be eligible. You must have a current Xbox Live Gold membership or trial that requires a credit card."
